Training day!!

Actually, in our temple here every year we have training course for all foreign and locals monks to understand more about the way how to apply the teaching of Buddha in the right way and also it's the right time to learn from one and other since in this temple we have many monks who from different countries, especially South East Asian countries. On the training day, we had many activities, but I was really interested in one game called drawing competition. It was funny because every group have to draw the picture and explain the morality of the story in the picture. The last session, we had some representative from different countries to present about the culture of their countries. It was really good since every body share the opinion and learn the different cutlures.
We learn a lot!!
